The og alphas is such a great platform. Enjoy!
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Amazing little reel, since I had a few reel issues, I used my SV105 as a base of comparison to the problem, I swear mine is up there with the smoothest reels I have! Love the levelwind tracking when pulling drag, such a cool feature.

How low do you go?
Its my first one and its on the old compile X rod.. I really was looking to match the color scheme but after handling it, I feel its really good together and balances great. Not sure why it took me so long but Im here and now will see what I want to use it for.

Finesse skipping machine. All your weightless Senko, flick shake, neds ect. Send them under docks on flouro.

Mine is on a Steez Compile X Skyray Shallow Cover Finesse which is just a 6'8" ML with a nice taper and good backbone. Pricey but I like it.

Well man know you have to tell the group more about the setup. =D>
Are you talking the current line up compile x ?

I have it on the 6'10" Hien. The lower rating is 1/4 oz, but the combo works down to 3/16...even 1/8 depending on lure and line selection.

Mine is on this guy. Just floats in my hand and sends flick shakes, neds and 4 inch senkos under docks like it was made to do it. Its spinning reel easy it without the line management issues with 10# Sniper.
